He became the White-Haired Evil God after wearing the Seven Curses Rings.

Wait, wait, wait, what just happened?

How much damage?

[What is the area covered?]

【Generous Gift Crab】

Over 100 billion in damage?!

[Who made the background character personally participate?!]

[They only appeared for a few seconds, and my huge Zerg army was used as fireworks?]

There are absolutely no humans left here.

[Are these the numbers when the server launched? They look so cool!]

[The server hasn't launched yet; this is just a preview.]

That's a pity.

Is the little girl really the main character being promoted in this version?

[With such a beautiful model, I bet it's a friendly NPC, not a boss, right?]

As the saying goes, the main characters always appear last, so I guess this must be the true protagonist of the game.

[Just kidding, it's just background noise; you'll never encounter that in your life.]

Hey, did you notice? This little girl named Bai isn't wearing shoes, and her fair, delicate little feet aren't dirty at all; they're as clean as milk ice cream.

This person has an astonishingly high level of concentration.

[There are even seasoned foodies here!]

Besides lolicon, it seems there are some other stranger things around here.

【…】

As the video screen went black, Xie Bai lay on the ground with a sigh of relief.

"It's finally over."

While watching himself show off, he also had to receive Gami's evaluation up close.

This was not easy for Xie Bai, who was used to staying behind the scenes.

Just as Xie Bai was trying to find a topic to distract Jia Mi, Jia Mi pulled Xie Bai up from the ground with one of her small hands.

"Little White Sister, don't lie down yet, there are still some surprises for you to come."

"Yes, yes, although you yourself did not appear, every single line in it revolves around you."

Upon hearing this, Xie Bai immediately got up from the ground.

"And there's an Easter egg in there?"

After careful recollection, it seems that I didn't arrange any scenes for myself later on.

With questions in mind, Xie Bai watched the end of the video with Jia Mi.

With a few minutes left in the video, the black screen was suddenly lit up again.

[Hmph, I knew things wouldn't be that simple.]

There are even experts here?

I knew the last few minutes couldn't have all been a cover-up.

As the darkness in the image was dispelled, Xie Bai was able to see the figures displayed within.

The current Emperor Orion, and... Edward?

"What's this kid doing here?"

With two guards standing on either side, Orion in the center of the image exudes an oppressive aura.

In contrast, Edward, sitting opposite Orian, looked like a lamb to the slaughter, being interrogated by Orian.

"Young man, there are no outsiders here, so I'll speak frankly."

Without much small talk, Orion got straight to the point.

"I wonder if you could tell me the identity of that white-haired girl? It doesn't matter, even just a little bit would be helpful."

You don't need to hide anything. You should know that I've always been good at observing people's eyes. I hope you won't deceive me, young man.

Or is it that, in your younger brother's eyes, we are still considered outsiders?

Wow, Orion's got potential. He's so direct, much better than those riddle-solving types.

[But does this golden retriever actually know Bai's secret? These chosen ones all have some story behind them.]

[How dare you call me the nuclear detonator! I'm inviting you to be a close-up nuclear detonation observer.]

Upon hearing Orion's subtle threat, Edward instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hurry up, you blockhead, think of something!"

Faced with this dilemma, Edward was at a loss for how to resolve it.

Although Orion could tell that he knew Xie Bai, the problem was that he really didn't know much about Xie Bai.

In the past ten days, he had witnessed Xie Bai make a move three times.

One time was against the barbarians who were hunting him down, and the other time was against himself.

The last time was not long ago when Xie Bai personally intervened to deal with the Zerg.

He had a premonition that as long as he dared to reveal anything about Xie Bai, he would immediately attract Xie Bai's attention.

If things go wrong, his future will be ruined.

But if he doesn't tell, he's doomed.

"Damn... Is there some kind of prejudice against alchemists in this world? Why do I always encounter life-or-death situations?"

After a long internal struggle, Edward finally came up with a solution.

Since Orion can tell whether he is lying by looking into his own eyes.

So, following his fear and speculation about Xie Bai, he fabricated a half-true, half-false, and severely exaggerated identity.

In any case, everyone had already witnessed Xie Bai's terrifying strength, which was comparable to that of a god descending to earth.

No matter how much you exaggerate, it won't seem too outrageous.

As for whether the other party will believe your story, you can only place your hopes on their ability to fill in the blanks.

"Your Majesty, I did meet that young woman once, but we had very little interaction, so I'm afraid I can't provide much useful information."

Seeing that Edward finally spoke, Orion smiled and waved his hand.

"It's alright, young man. You just need to tell me what you know."

"Yes, Your Majesty, but before that, I need to introduce something to you."

As he spoke, Edward pulled down his sleeve, revealing the item on his wrist.

A jet-black bracelet engraved with gold patterns.

"This is?"

Orion looked at the bracelet on Edward's hand, feeling somewhat confused.

Although he wasn't very familiar with the item, he could tell it was no ordinary piece.

At least in terms of its aura, it is comparable to Roland's creations.

"Please explain in detail, young Edward."

Seeing that he had temporarily intimidated the other party, Edward breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"This thing is called the Bracelet of Fate. It was given to me by Teacher Roland. Wearing it symbolizes joining an organization called the Wheel of Fate."

Wait, what did you just say you joined?

Guess which faction the protagonist belongs to in a second

[The salted beans don't contain salt anymore. No wonder this game is called Wheel of Fortune; it turns out there's actually an organization in it with that name.]

Upon hearing this, Orion frowned.

"As expected, Roland is still hiding something from me. But Roland has been a loyal subject of the empire for two hundred years, and he wouldn't do anything to harm the empire. Is there some secret that I shouldn't know that he's not telling me...?"

Thinking of this, Orion looked at Edward again.

"Please continue, brother."

"Uh... okay..."

Seeing that Orion did not doubt him, Edward began to use his imagination to continue writing.

"Professor Roland told me that this is an organization that specifically gathers the chosen ones, supposedly to combat a future crisis."

This organization possesses unfathomable strength, harboring several god-level beings who have transcended the limitations of the world. The young woman His Majesty encountered is a leader-like figure within it.

When I first joined, I had the privilege of meeting him once, but he was so mysterious that all I knew was that he was called Bai.

Edward's palms were sweating nervously as he spoke the last sentence, but Orion was so engrossed in his earlier words that she didn't notice his unease.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he hadn't given himself away.

As for his earlier statement that Xie Bai was an important figure in the Wheel of Fate, it was entirely a last-minute association.

Shifting the focus of the problem from oneself to others can be considered a form of emergency risk avoidance.

This was a principle taught to him by his teacher, Roland, and now he is putting it into practice.

Moreover, associating a mysterious figure with a mysterious organization makes it easy for people to use their own imagination and unconsciously come to terms with it.

After listening to Edward's words, Orion pondered for a moment.

"If that's the case, many things make sense. I guess Father's return was thanks to this wheel of fate. No wonder Father knew that girl..."

With this in mind, Orion re-evaluated Edward.

"Thank you to this brother for sharing this secret with me. To repay your trust, I've decided that starting tomorrow..."

"You are officially promoted to the new Royal High Alchemist. It just so happens that Master Roland had also previously submitted a retirement application to me."
